Finnish band EMBRAZE, which features in its ranks FOR MY PAIN guitarist Lauri Tuohimaa, has issued the following update:

"Small break is now behind us and we have started to work on new songs. There are five raw versions at the moment and I might say that they sound new and fresh EMBRAZE."

"Vibe has not been the best possible this winter, and to be honest, the end has never been as close as it has been this year… But after today’s rehearsal it feels really good and continuation is definitely to be expected. All the shit will be erupted together into music: the work name of the new album is 'Hekla', which should tell what kind of eruption is coming."

"At the moment we are working on new songs and recording demos. We are taking our time to work on the material during spring and summer."

Finnish gothic metallers For My Pain have posted several videos and photos taken during their appearance at the Jalometalli festival on August 20, 2004. Live video versions of the songs are "Rapture of Lust" (10.8 MB), "Rapture of Lust 2" (17.5 MB) and "My Wound Is Deeper Than Yours" (12.1 MB). Check them out here.
